President Donald Trump on Thursday urged the Justice Department to not let Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) and one of her former aides "off the hook," suggesting the imbroglio over IT staffer Imran Awan allegedly committing fraud on a home equity loan is "a key to much of the corruption we see today."
"Our Justice Department must not let Awan & Debbie Wasserman Schultz off the hook," the president tweeted. "The Democrat I.T. scandal is a key to much of the corruption we see today."
The remarks come amid reports Awan and his wife, Hina Alvi, are poised to strike a plea deal over the investigation into their alleged conspiracy to commit bank fraud.
Trump has publicly criticized his own Justice Department over the ongoing federal probe into Russian election meddling in 2016 and ties to his campaign while questioning why they have not more aggressively pursued alleged crimes by Democrats. "The Russian Witch Hunt Hoax continues," Trump tweeted of the investigation last week, adding, "Should be looking at Dems corruption instead?"
